Please join us at 11:00 am Eastern on Thursday, July 13, for the Distinguished Seminar Series featuring Dr. Kimberly Christen, Director of the Digital Technology and Culture Program, the Director of Digital Projects for Native American Programs, and the co-Director of the Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation at Washington State University.
In her presentation, “We Have Never Been Neutral: Search, Discovery, and the Politics of Access,” Dr. Christen will address the concept that library and archive practices are neutral and non-biased, trace the often violent histories of collecting and the construction of the public domain, unpack their connections to the foundations of libraries and archives, and open a space to provide a framework for ethical engagements and reciprocal practices through culturally responsive tools and engagements. The event will be held at OCLC’s global headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, and attendees have the option to attend virtually or in-person.

| | | |  | About the Distinguished Seminar Series
OCLC Research established the Distinguished Seminar Series in 1978 to encourage the sharing of thought leadership around topics that effect the ever-evolving world of librarianship and information sharing. We invite distinguished professionals to our headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, to give presentations on topics of current interest. Speakers may discuss recently completed or early-stage research that they have undertaken or report other types of professional activity. Some topics align closely with our current research directions, while others represent areas of interest to the library and information science community that are not formally being studied by our researchers. | | | |
